Jesus prays for life
He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the
disciples followed him. When he reached the place, he said to them, "Pray that
you may not come into the time of trial." Then he withdrew from them about a
stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, remove this
cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done." Then an angel from heaven
appeared to him and gave him strength. In his anguish he prayed more
earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the
ground. When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them
sleeping because of grief, and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up
and pray that you may not come into the time of trial."
